(«Couple raise "genderless" baby so it can choose its own sex later in life», The Indian Express, 25-5-2011)
«A Canadian couple has sparked controversy by deciding to keep the sex of their 4-month-old baby a secret as part of an attempt to raise a "genderless child". Kathy Witterick, 38, and David Stocker, 39, are raising their third child, Storm, to be free of societal norms regarding gender, reports the Mirror. They want Storm to decide for itself whether it is going to be a boy or a girl.
»A couple who have spent five years keeping their child's sex a secret have finally revealed it's a boy. Beck Laxton, 46, and partner Kieran Cooper, 44, decided to hide it from all but their closest relatives and raise him as "gender neutral". According to them, gender neutral was the way to go, if they wanted to allow their child's true personality to emerge. Laxton is of the opinion that gender stereotyping is fundamentally stupid, and she wanted to avoid it all together. In fact she goes as far as to say that early gender stereotyping can be harmful. "Gender affects what children wear and what they can play with, and that shapes the kind of person they become", she says.»
Οἱ Σουηδοὶ εἰσαγάγανε φέτος στὰ λεξικά τους μία νέα οὐδετέρου γένους ἀντωνυμία ὥστε νὰ μὴν ξεχωρίζῃ τὸ φύλο.

(«Sweden's new gender-neutral pronoun: hen - A country tries to banish gender», Slate, 11-4-2012)
«Ironically, in the effort to free Swedish children from so-called normative behavior, gender-neutral proponents are also subjecting them to a whole set of new rules and new norms as certain forms of play become taboo, language becomes regulated, and children's interactions and attitudes are closely observed by teachers. One Swedish school got rid of its toy cars because boys "gender-coded" them and ascribed the cars higher status than other toys. Another preschool removed "free playtime" from its schedule because, as a pedagogue at the school put it, when children play freely "stereotypical gender patterns are born and cemented. In free play there is hierarchy, exclusion, and the seed to bullying." And so every detail of children's interactions gets micromanaged by concerned adults, who end up problematizing minute aspects of children's lives, from how they form friendships to what games they play and what songs they sing.
»The Swedish school system has wholeheartedly, and probably too quickly and eagerly, embraced this new agenda. Last fall, 200 teachers attended a major government-sponsored conference discussing how to avoid "traditional gender patterns" in schools. At Egalia, one model Stockholm preschool, everything from the decoration to the books and toys are carefully selected to promote a gender-equal perspective and to avoid traditional presentations of gender and parenting roles. The teachers try to expose the pupils to as few "gendered expressions" as possible. At Christmastime, the Egalia staff rewrote a traditional song as "hen bakes cakes all day long." When pupils play house, they are encouraged to include "mommy, daddy, child" in their imaginary families, as well as "daddy, daddy, child"; "mommy, mommy, child"; "daddy, daddy, sister, aunty, child"; or any other modern combination.»

(Andrew Gilbert & Shané Williams, «Analyzing the impact of gender on depictions of touch in early childhood textbooks», Early Childhood Research and Practice, 2008)
«Early childhood contexts often enact “common-sense identities” that create and sustain the notion that teachers of young children are expressly female and heterosexual. It has also been argued that touch is a key difference between men and women in early childhood classrooms. This exploratory study examined 10 early childhood textbooks to determine whether images depicting touch enacted these common-sense notions. To investigate whether implicit gendered messages existed within the texts, images displaying touch between teachers and children were grouped according to three main recurrent themes: teacher touching child, child touching teacher, and mutually negotiated contact. Findings indicated that, although the images of male teachers were positive, troubling patterns did emerge concerning the type and nature of men’s contact with children.

Ἡ Liz Bierendy, ἕνα ὄμορφο 17χρονο κορίτσι μὲ ἔφεσι στὴν ζωγραφικὴ, ἀνέλαβε νὰ κάνῃ μιὰ τοιχογραφία στὸ σχολεῖο της. Ζωγράφισε ἕνα ἀγόρι ποὺ παίζει παιχνίδια, μεγαλώνει καὶ παίζει τὴν κιθάρα του, πηγαίνει στὸ Γυμνάσιο, ντύνεται μοντέρνα καὶ διασκεδάζει ὅπως ὅλοι οἱ νεαροί, πηγαίνει στὸ πανεπιστήμιο, σπουδάζει, βρίσκει μιὰ ὡραῖα κοπέλα, παντρεύονται καὶ κάνουν ἕνα παιδάκι. Μιὰ μοντέρνα, δεμένη, εὐτιχισμένη οἰκογένεια.
Τὴν εἶπαν ρατσίστρια. Οἱ καθηγητὲς τῆς εἶπαν νὰ σβήσῃ τὴν ζωγραφιά της. Ἀπὸ κι ὡς ποῦ, εἶπαν, ἡ οἰκογένεια νὰ παριστάνεται μὲ πατέρα καὶ μητέρα, ποὺ εἶναι μάλιστα παντρεμένοι; (Καὶ μάλιστα εὐτυχισμένοι. Καὶ ἡ μητέρα νὰ ἀκουμπᾷ προστατευτικὰ τὸ χέρι στὸν ὧμο τοῦ παιδιοῦ.) Αὐτὸ εἶναι ρατσιστικό. Γιατὶ δὲν ζωγράφισες δύο ομόφυλους ἢ ἕναν ἀνύπαντρο ἢ χωρισμένο;

«We are going to need a small army of Toilet Trainers on campus throughout the week, to answer questions and ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. Without Toilet Trainers, the week educational opportunities will be lost, and confusion might take away from the potential power of an event like this. You can make the week a success!»

Τὰ νέα φύλα 2 εἶναι καὶ μένουνε καταχρηστικῶς 3. Αὐτὸ τὸ 3ο φύλο ἐπλήθυνε καὶ κατακυρίευσε τὴν γῆ καὶ ὣς ἐδῶ τὰ ξέρετε.
Σήμερα εἴμαστε - στὴν αὐγὴ ἑνὸς 4ου φύλου. Τοῦ οὐδετέρου. Οὔτε ἄνδρας οὔτε γυναῖκα.
Δὲν εἶναι μόδα.
Εἶναι ἡ ἐφεύρεση μίας νέας ψυχικῆς καὶ σωματικῆς κατάστασης. Ὅπως οἱ γκαίη μιμοῦνται τοὺς τρόπους τῶν ἀρχαίων ἑρμαφρόδιτων θεῶν καὶ τῶν ἱερέων τους τὸ νέο 4ο φύλο μιμεῖται τὴν κατάσταση τοῦ ἀρχαίου εὐνούχου. Δὲν εὐνουχίζονται ἀκόμα καθὼς συναντᾶνε μεγάλη ἀντίδραση τόσο ἀπὸ τὸ κράτος ὅσο καὶ ἀπὸ τὶς θρησκεῖες.
